Firstly there are two types of deserts - hot deserts (like the Sahara) and cold deserts (like Antarctica. Generally no plants are found in cold deserts.
Hot deserts on the other hand are inhospitable places in general for life, but there are plants which have manged to adapt to growing and reproducing under these conditions.
There are many deserts all over the world, most contain certain plant species that are native to that area, and are not found in other deserts - for example the barrel cactus is native to central American deserts and is not found naturally in African deserts.
